Who Do You Think You Are? Cause You Ain’t All That to God
To be humble (having true humility) is to know your strong enough mentally, and physically to handle or overcome a situation or circumstance but you chose to de-escalate the problem by showing love instead of retaliation. That takes much practice and dedication to our faith in God. God is strongly encouraging us to humble ourselves or in reality, He will humble you (it won’t be a pretty sight). Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall (Proverbs 16:18). The Lord will allow us to stumble along the way of our journey to keep us from destruction down the road, or from falling too hard. Walking in love will accentuate our awareness to walk in humility towards each other. Our faith in God will keep us on track, and therefore keeping us under the mighty hand of God in that He will lift us up in due time. It is better to willingly humble ourselves, then to be humbled by God. He will get our attention by allowing certain things to happen to us so we can start thinking about relaxing our headstrong attitude, if that’s the case. The dirty weed of pride starts in our mind. Once we think we’re better than others, that is the beginning of sorrows. Many times we can feel we should be further along in our accomplishments in life. But staying steady under the mighty hand of God until He feels you’re ready for promotion, this is the way.
